I was hoping this second book in the series would appeal to me more than the first, but it just didn't.

I liked the main character in the first book, but didn't love her. In this book, I like her a little less. She seems to have no real connections to anyone, all her communication is just banter, and the majority of it is mean spirited. My friends and I can sometimes joke around and poke fun, but if every interaction was taking aim at a weakness of mine, or a sore spot, I would dump those friends, asap! Why she tolerates being treated poorly by "friends" is beyond me, and it makes me lose respect for her. I don't think everyone should hold hands and sing songs, but non-stop biting dialouge just got really old, pretty quickly.

Same with her love interest, he treats her like he thinks she's an idiot, and that would drive me nuts. If a guy played tricks on me, just because he knew he could, and actually said as much, said he tricked me because he knew I wouldn't catch on, it would be to the curb for him.

With every interaction Maggy has, with her friends, with her love interest, it just makes me cringe how she gets treated so poorly and she just doesn't care. Of sure, some things you just shake off, but no one is nice to this gal and if Maggy doesn't care about Maggy, then neither do I, the reader.

Book 3 is on my WL and I'll wait it out, and read it when I get it, but if I'm as distracted by all her hostile relationships in the next one, I'll be setting this series aside.
